  Hello,

  I bought a domain through OVH – and also bought a domain mapping on wordpress.com.
  I’ve updated the name of the primary domain to: zoeinthekitchen.com
  Still, even though I post articles, when you go onto zoeinthekitchen.com, the articles are not posted. Could you help me please?

  Best,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  In order for the domain zoeinthekitchen.com to direct to your blog zoebordelon.wordpress.com, you’ll need to change your name servers to the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you’re not sure how, you’ll need to contact your registrar for assistance.

  You can read more about domain mapping here:

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!

  Thanks a lot for your message!
  I followed the steps but what is weird is when I clich onto the “EDIT” button (Click on Edit Domain to open the domain management screen,) – on the left, I just have : “Email” and “Edit DNS” but I do not have “Name Servers” on the left to edit your name servers.

  Could you let me know if there’s another way to do that? Or if I should contact someone else please?

  Hello!

  Sorry for being unclear. You need to change the name servers with your registrar, not through your dashboard here at WordPress.com. This means you’ll have to log into your account at OVH.

  This might good be a good place to start for steps to do this:
